select mail box.”
2. Press M-BOX 1 , M-BOX 2 , or M-BOX 3 to
select the mail box. The indicator for the
selected mail box lights and

in the message counter window.

sage after the tone.”
4. When the tone sounds, speak your mes-
sage. When you finish the memo, press
MEMO/REC or STOP .
Note: The TAD cannot record a memo less
than two seconds long.
RECORDING A
CONVERSATION
The TAD lets you record both sides of a tele-
phone conversation when you are talking us-
ing the handset.
Important: It is illegal in some areas to
record a conversation without the consent of
all parties to the conversation, including the
phone company. Check the laws in your area
before you use the two-way recording fea-
ture.
To start recording a phone conversation,

The TAD stores a recorded conversation as

sages”).

less than two seconds long, or a call using
the speakerphone.
PLAYING MESSAGES

total number of new messages stored in all
mail boxes flashes on the message counter
window, and the mail box indicators that con-

To play your messages, press the mail box
button with its indicator flashing. The TAD
announces the number of new and old mes-

message number appears as each message
plays, and the TAD announces the day and
time of the call at the end of each message.
When all the new messages in all the mail
